Why multiple saws?

[JimErn]

I have three, my starter saw a porter cable, the daily use ex-21, and a friend stopped by, said he'd trade me an old delta scroll saw for a beer - price was too good to pass up.

I have three scroll saws.  I bought a new Hegner polymax-3 and then a 1986 25" Hegner multimax-3 as back up (that I have never needed). 

     I found an old Jet saw on craigslist that I paid $15 for.  I use the Jet when I need to take a saw with me to a sale or a demonstration. I keep it stored under my bench. It is single speed but smooth running and light to transport.

 

     I do a LOT of inlay work. I have my Polymax saw tilted to the angle I need to do inlays and the Multimax is not tilted and use it to do all other cuts.
